this melting in turn is slowing the earths rotation gradually , because the melted water moves
outward from the center of rotation.
...
the volcanic action will bring on the next ice age causing life to decline greatly , because of the decreased temperatures.
That's an interesting new spin on it. Can you quantify it?
and they will most likely make the same fatal mistakes we have.
but people live through ice ages as they have in the past.
I think we're far better equipped to survive an ice age than ever before. We're no longer hunter-gatherers who'll die off as soon as the trees stop making fruit. We're even moving beyond traditional farming where we'd die off as soon as our crops stop growing. All we need is energy and building materials. Then we can provide ourselves with loads of food, warmth, etc. And because it'll happen gradually, we'll have time to adjust our industry for the new requirements.
